It's almost like with this and the God-awful Rob Zombie remake they were trying to make like _Texas Chainsaw Massacre_ with the incest, but imo what made the original 2 _Halloween_ movies so great and iconic was that it _wasn't_ an incestuous gory shlockfest. It was a Hitchcock homage of suspense, sympathetic and relatable characters, haunting music and low-key but tragic murder, which were even more shocking because of Myers' random selection and banality (maybe even glee) of them. To him, killing a teen girl's friends and splaying the bodies out for her to find before killing her is just as much a Halloween prank as egging someone's house or spraying silly string all over a front lawn. And what made it more terrifying (and what the Zombie remake _utterly failed_ at), was that Myers was an ordinary kid in an ordinary family.(as evidenced by his parent's shock upon his reveal), showing that a killer could be _anyone._

I like to pretend that, when he randomly starts killing the cult members, Michael went "Man, killing was so much more fun before it became a job. Now it's all about Gods and babies and... It was just so much simpler when it was just me, my knife and any random person between me and my sister. I'm going to go back to that. Right now."

+PRHILL9696 The lack of any explanation (though it may seem a bit boring since a bunch of people did it afterward) made the first and second Halloweens more frightening. Like Phelous says, Michael was a force of nature, unpredictable, violent and brutal. Giving him a reason, making him the victim of a curse, and not letting him express it himself reduces him as a monster. It takes away his volition, thus taking away his unpredictable nature, reducing his fear factor and retroactively harming the rest of the series by doing so.

PRHILL9696 ...I guess you could look at it that way, too. On the other hand, though, the Thorn curse makes Michael's course of action painfully obvious, and when applied over the rest of the series it doesn't make all that much sense. If he was a mindless murder machine, why would he even bother with clothes in-universe? I know why the movie wouldn't show you a naked dude in a Shatner mask in real life, but in the movie, why the clothes? And why was he just staring at her through the window in that one really famous scene? Why would he be lurking at any point, since he's mindless? And if he wasn't mindless, why did he even bother with killing anyone who wasn't Laurie or the literal way of getting to her in the first two movies? Doing that would make it so much harder to actually kill her, since she'd be on guard. Why did he listen to Jamie in the fifth movie? Why did he have a little bonding moment with her in either case? The Thorn curse doesn't make sense within the course of Michael's actions and choices as shown.

I don't know where you're getting the whole, "fans couldn't enjoy it because they didn't know" crud. The people watching these newer films aren't even the same audience as the ones who grew up with the original trilogy. There's a 20 year difference between this one and the original. I can tell you from experience that they don't like this twist and some sure as hell jumped shark a while ago, meaning this explanation is just for the directors satisfaction. It's the Star Wars prequels all over again. This movie gets a 4/10 from me

The consensus between them and even the old Halloween forum I used to be apart of is that this is an example of too much backstory being a bad thing and it only makes watching the old films cringy since this cult nonsense was probably not the direction John Carpenter was going. Yes there were questions and yes people wanted to know but not at the expense of organic storytelling. This origin story is contrived and down right dumb imo. Maybe you're satisfied but you certainly don't speak for the people I've conversed with.

I think Donald Pleasance's final performance was actually in _Fatal Frames_ , a stylish but convoluted Italian giallo (if you haven't seen it, it has good review potential ;) He actually died during filming and it was handled with an Ed Wood-like replacement, though Halloween 6 may have been his final _released_ film as I think FF came out first.

This movie could have been better if they tweaked the plots for 4 and 5, and allow a smooth transition into six. They could still keep the cult, but rather than it being about a curse it could be about the cult kidnapping him so they can find out what makes him tick. This would be similar to the novel Friday the 13th: Church of the Divine Psychopath.

I liked the answers provided in the novelization of the first film by Curtis Richards better. It was much simpler and not confusing at all. Yes, there was Celtic mythology involved, but there was no cult and no curse about how someone has to kill their entire family in order to save a tribe. Just a story about this guy named Enda who "at the dawn of the Celtic race" got mad that this girl that he liked rejected him and married this other guy instead, so he got jealous and killed both of them during a Samhain celebration. Then the village executes him and Enda's soul is cursed to wander the Earth forever, re-creating the events of that night. So, shortly before Halloween Michael starts hearing voices telling him to kill people. He has dreams of the events from "the dawn of the Celtic race" from Enda's pov and the couple he sees in that reminds him of Judith and her boyfriend. Being possessed by the spirit of Enda, he is filled with jealousy and kills his sister. I also don't mind the idea of this being a curse that runs in the family. In the novel, Michael's grandmother tells a story about how Michael's great grandfather also killed someone after he was hearing voices. Halloween 4 should have actually killed off Michael Myers and just made Jamie the new killer. That would be much better, or they could have went further with Jamie reaching Michael and eventually breaking the curse. Maybe in the process she kills some people? Maybe there's some niece and uncle mass killing bonding? imo, both of those sound better than the mess that is Halloween 5 and 6.

I totally agree; without Donald Pleasence, Halloween would have good but he made it great.

The only thing I remember from this movie is that kid having a power ranger action figure

16:57 kinda like how Jaws The Revenge stole the roaring sound effect from Tom and Jerry

The scene when Michael is chasing the protagonists and the doctor in the red tunnel in the theatrical cut. You can see Michael jogging.

so glad you posted this one up on here! I was looking for it a few months back, and was sad that it wasn't up on here yet. By the way your Halloween Resurrection review is one of my favorites from you, it's really really funny.

Phelous, not sure if maybe this video was done awhile ago and just posted now, but the Producer's Cut IS available if you buy the complete Halloween collection on Blu Ray. Part 6 comes with 2 discs, 1 the Theater Cut, and the other disc is the Producer Cut. MANY years ago, I bought a bootleg VHS copy of the Producer Cut on ebay, and still have it., kinda pointless now though.

through the use of rituals and powerful runes, influence a person to sacrifice their entire family on the night of Samhain in order to appease a bloodthirsty entity, thus protecting their village from its unholy wrath

Like most I love Halloween 6 The Producers cut. It finally answered all those endless questions fans had since 1978. Plus it is probably the best film in the series. Too bad it became a joke after that with the h20 reboot and rob zombies remakes And since 1978 fans kept wondering if Myers was a demon an alien or satan himself and if a cult was behind it or the government so it finally got explained that is great

PRHILL9696 In my honest opinion, it explained it poorly. If Michael is cursed and the curse makes him kill his family members as sacrifices, why does he go out of his way to kill Laurie's friends in Halloween 1 instead of just going to get Laurie right away? Other than people who get in his way, why does he even bother killing anyone else at all? Why didn't the cult ever help Michael kill his family members or kill Dr. Loomis since he was always trying to stop him? If people are supposed to be sacrificed every Halloween to prevent mass sickness and death, why don't these events occur in the 15 years Michael was locked up, or the 10 years he was in coma between Halloween 2 and 4? Plus, he always fails to kill his family anyway so why don't these events occur? Do the other murders count? Plus, it's almost as if Michael is actually the good guy since his curse does what it does so that mass sickness, destruction and death would not affect the tribes. It's all just convoluted and stupid to me. Some fans really wanted to know more about Michael but I've always preferred to think that he was just some evil kid who killed his sister and gradually became so evil that became unstoppable, because pure evil never dies. If you like Halloween 6 though-that's okay. I respect your opinion and even though I don't like this film at all, I think it's pretty cool to see it has some fans.

they went down the wrong path with this film

I always took Rudd's delivery as an effect of Tommy Doyle's intense trauma from the first one. Or, really, I generally tend to mentally write my own convoluted 'excuses' for production errors in films as an attempt to bring some semblance of sense to the story, in my own head. No excuse for why it was ever filmed in the first place, though.

Maybe Thorn was appeased by the Silver Shamrock Massacre of '82 and it bought Meyers and Co. more time. :P

lol great video yeah i have the normal H6 but im after the Directors cut get it or the Easter holidays and omg if Michael touches you you too become infected by the curse of Thorn holy shit imagine if that was in the story line as a lot of ppl have touched him and lived
